#an all round GEM

[legally-allowed-to-slime]

gem’s among us pov is out and That Round is actually crazy??? omg. the whole time being sus and then acting like everyone else is crazy for accusing her??? her literally chasing down jimmy and forcing him to say she’s not the impostor (he knows she is) while giggling the ENTIRE time he’s begging for his life. and then when they run into pearl she just segues back into innocent laughter and says she’s “just walking” and “this man is freaking out”. pearl gets suspicious and she pretends pearl’s being ridiculous. and then her following false and false is like “why are you following me” and she’s like “because it’s fun” before immediately killing her. and scar the other impostor shutting the door from beyond the grave and she yells “pearl!” like she’s genuinely scared and accuses impulse of shutting the door so he could kill pearl and the WHOLE TIME jimmy is actually panicking because gem literally told him she was the impostor but no one believes him??? “jimmy you would be dead if you were the impostor because you’re chatting so much” chefs kiss her turning jimmy’s founded accusations into just him talking too much to make him sound crazy. THE JIMMY KILL with her giggling while jimmy and impulse are shifting around each other is TOP tier work. she literally from scratch created the exact environment in which pearl could plausibly believe that it was impulse. grian screaming ���she can’t keep getting away with this!” when pearl votes for impulse. top tier manipulator at work. this is life series level stuff. i’m shaking. brilliant. a masterpiece

personally gem's life series pov is always my favorite because she truly says what im thinking.. exhibit a: every single time she calls someone "pathetic" or a "wet cat"

7 and 14 for the soft asks pls!

7. Who do you feel most like yourself around?

My roommate, Glen, though I still mask quite a lot around him as well. I'm still learning how to be most myself! I don't really know what that means. Since being diagnosed ASD L2, a lot of stuff has started to make sense re: why I just don't like socialising very much, and it's probably because I have never really been myself around other people.

But otherwise, definitely Glen. He's fine with my (very frequent) vocal stimming, and physical stimming, he understands some of my weirdnesses, he'll be the one to remind me of stuff I forget about (like that I'm super clumsy and maybe I shouldn't carry that full bowl of soup by myself into another room), etc. I'm very lucky to have someone in my life who not only doesn't mind some of my quirks, but openly enjoys them.

14. Whats something upcoming that you’re excited for?

Hmmm. HMMMMMM. Oh! I know. I am meeting someone new for a sensory/kink experience and while it's terrifying / nervewracking (new dynamic, new situation, new person, new negotiation/s), it's also extremely exciting and something I've been looking forward to for a long time. :D

Round 1: Introduction

[tetzoro]

goooood morning and happy wednesday friendz ! we’ve made it halfway, let’s keep pushing through ! i hope today brings only the best vibes & you find something lovely to smile at (ㅅ´ ˘ `) ! !

[minisception]

Finished all three command models, just barely on time. Things did go faster with the scheme set, but three in a week is still pushing things.

But yeah, that's unit one of my bonereapers in the new scheme. I'd like to try and do the bunker painting challenge / armies on parade next year - in all likelyhood I'll get distracted by video games or some other project, but at least for the moment momentum is on my side going into January.

Next painting goal: 10 more of these same mortek guard.

finally got to martyn's secret life episode today and i was both amazed and horrified to see that nobody was exaggerating his condition one bit; that was the most stressful episode by far and he is absolutely the wettest cat on the server 😭😭

[icewindandboringhorror]

I have found a beautiful perfect humble rock specimen that is light yellow with a weird dark yellowy brown lining, somewhat resembling a chunk of smoked gouda cheese... effervescent

i think something people forget about pink diamond is that she had compassion for life long before she went to earth

the pebbles assume steven is pink not because of his gem or aura but just because he says ‘hello’ and ‘thank you’ to them, a basic common courtesy that nobody else has given them in thousands of years

in steven’s pink visions, blue is yelling at pink about the little bugs she let loose on homeworld. when one of them is found in her cell, she is quick to check it’s okay before helping it out of the room. even before encountering humans she valued organic life.

even the garden, the setting of pink’s cruellest moment, is proof of her care for organic life. Unlike every other part of homeworld, the garden is teeming with plant-life, which was kept healthy enough that it continued to grow even after pink abandoned it. the only other homeworld structure that tends to organic life is the human zoo. who’s to say the garden wasn’t another attempt by the other diamonds to placate pink after she expressed concern for the life on one of their colonies? or maybe pink picked the plants herself from the many different colonies she visited and grew them there.

pink wasn’t perfect. she had a bad habit of acting on her emotions and impulses without considering the consequences of her actions, and she hurt a lot of people because of it. but she considered all life precious and worth protecting, it just wasn’t until she had a colony of her own that she fully understood that the expansion of homeworld was intrinsically linked to the destruction of life, and the moment she realised that is the moment she stood against it.

I will make a proper post about today's Feet of Clay adventures later but for now let me just say that I have reached SOUP OF THE AFTERNOON

(in which may well be found the croutons of teatime)

[sevenines]

the framing of gems-as-robots is one of my favorites. the role of biologist and engineer are the same! gems directly interface with their technology!! they glitch when hurt and have circuitry as veins!!! the are born, programmed, with a purpose!!! they call other life organics—they are not!!!!! white diamond is the equivalent of the tetris ai that paused to avoid losing at all costs, hiding herself away in her head as to never be wrong about pink-rose-steven and the nature of gemkind!!!!!!

Cracked the code on why people like zombie apocalypse stories, especially those similar to the vibe of The Last of Us, so much:

it’s because it’s like eternal free-for-all summer vacation. Doing whatever you want. Like when you were a kid and imagined a world without grown-ups and without school and without dumb rules like “no, you can’t go climb that tree.” It triggers your nostalgia, drawing on the same deep-rooted childhood wish as Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, or Chronicles of Narnia. Just you and your troupe of friends on an eternal roadtrip, stopping at empty malls to grab whatever drinks and snacks and Knick-knacks you want for free, traveling wherever in a beat-up van or living in a little remote homestead with a makeshift garden or farm. No school, no work, no rules, just eternal hangout time to do whatever piques your interest— art, reading, gardening, crafts, music, etc.

It’s the breakdown of humanity to its bare essentials: community, living in nature, inventions and improvising with duct tape and makeshift clay bowls, not being forced to work 24/7 like an insect and being able to lazily enjoy life and do the things you enjoy like the monkey mammal you are.

The only thing you have to trade in exchange is occasionally hitting a zombie on the head with a baseball bat, and let’s admit it, that’s gotta count as cathartic therapy of some sort, or avoiding some asshole raiders who are usually just evil dumb stock bro types.

I’d trade it in a second. Back to the stone age lifestyle, baybeeee, see ya, 5-day work week and taxes. Sign me up RIGHT NOW

it's weird that i never see anyone draw c!gem with a cleft chin and strong jaw like cc!gem has. probably some people do but i haven't seen it enough for it to stick
